Abortion is murder. Period.

Almost right. The unforgivable sin is 'blashphamy' of the Holy Spirit. All believers 'grieve' the Holy Spirit at one time or another.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30307430

You are right. In Matthew, the Greek word is blasphemia [link to biblesuite.com] I'm not sure that all believers grieve the Holy Spirit though.

I will let you study the issue independently.

I know I am grieved that you chose this manner of discussing this volatile topic.

You're not discussing all of the major issues of abortion prevention, and that's better than this murder business. I don't know what caused you to have such a hard heart. It's practically condemnation.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to engage the nonbelievers, which is the whole point right? Isn't that your goal? Or is it comdemnation? If so, you're definitely in the wrong.

Yes. You have made your position clear in that respect. As have I. Again, I appreciate your heartfelt concern. Let us both be about our work with pure hearts before God.

There is a controversy whether a fetus in fetu is the distinct entity or a highly organized Teratoma.

Teratomas can be an undiagnosed cause of anxiety and high blood pressure, BTW. Really weird things.

Quoting: zenobiaphobia

Yes, it's a complex issue. I agree. I was just explaining this evening about teratomas in a topic on the brain. A teratoma is a cancerous mass. It induces unusual tissues to form. It's not the result of human fertilization though, and as such is not a human being, but a warped cancerous tumor. Removal would not be precluded and would not ever be considered a human being

Similarly, there's the case of a vanishing twin. Sometimes a fetus will be absorbed into another fetus and during the nine month period. [link to en.wikipedia.org] However in this case, the removal of one of the partially absorbed twins would be an abortion.

Medical ethics is very very difficult for the layman to understand. Abortions happened in history all the time even to the time of the American Revolution. We've struggled with it in the USA. We have an enormous amount of unnecessary abortions. See my comparison per capita to Belgium in a prior post. While abortions are declining 1 per 300 people in the USA is a staggering figure.

They get government funding to help reduce pregnancies, which is really about birth control, not abortion. However they performed 300,000 of them instead.

It's not responsible public funding. It's reprehensible ethically. It's not responsible as a means of birth control and criminal really. We try to hide the fact by obfuscating that it's killing humans, because we can't handle that.

Do you know that the aborted baby was at serious risk of being sentenced to eternal damnation in hell!!

Now, the aborted baby has zero chance of going to hell.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

If you believe in God, then part of His Word speaks to the tongue and taming it. We can't say just anything, for if we do, God's Word tell us what will happen.Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble. Proverbs 21:23

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29

For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. James 3:2-10

It's dangerous for your soul AC to say such things. There will be a cost. I don't want that to happen, but for you to have eternal life.

Even if you don't believe, there's wisdom in the words above. I hope you reconsider the choices your making.

thank you for posting this op.lots of forgotten people and the homeless ones of our citiesI thinbk there is no fixing this, another several thousand years and it wouldnt improve much unless and untill people change within and after the message was given from Christ it still doesnt seem to have sunk in

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:6

How many times have we hurt some "little one" because we lead them in wrong ways. We gave bad advice. We neglected to help them. We didn't listen when all they wanted was one person to care.

Worse, some people actually tell people to do terrible things. They advise young people to make a lifetime choice, one that lays heavy burdens on their hearts and souls.

Others are outright criminal and profit by other's misfortunes. At a time when they are desperate, they're willing to charge them money to remove a human life for $500. That's the cost of a human life in an abortion.

Other's are far worse. They know that the issue is complex and related to getting better medical treatment. Helping fix all of the issues I listed earlier like birth control, nutrition, dental care, medical care, etc. Many birth defects could be cheaply and easily prevented, and by default many unnecessary abortions prevented.

Others make legislative decisions which make abortion easier than health care. It's repugnant and doesn't help the patient, only kills a child.

Don't be weighed down by a millstone and drowned by misleading a little one into sin.

What happens to aborted babies? Have you ever wondered? Most people assume that they're incinerated or buried. That's not true. Some are, but some very dark sinister things are happening to the remains of children.

The fetal tissue is used in the making of soft drinks to determine if certain flavors would be more palletable. [link to www.naturalnews.com]

"In about 1% of cases or fewer, the medications do not work and the embryo continues to grow. In these cases, a suction procedure (surgical abortion) must be done to empty the uterus and complete the abortion."

[link to www.americanpregnancy.org] Less frequent side effects include possible heavy or prolong bleeding, blood clots, damage to the cervix and perforation of the uterus. Infection due to retained products of conception or infection caused by an STD or bacteria being introduced to the uterus can cause fever, pain, abdominal tenderness and possibly scar tissue.

Infertility. It's a common problem. An earlier abortion, an infection as a result of an abortion or a later d and c because tissue wasn't removed properly. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

First-trimester surgical abortions are safe and effective and have few complications.

In rare cases, an aspiration procedure doesn't successfully end a pregnancy. This is more likely to happen during the earliest weeks of a pregnancy. Among manual aspirations performed before 6 weeks, about 3 out of 100 fail, requiring a repeat procedure.1Risks

First-trimester surgical abortions are considered one of the safest surgical procedures. The risk of complications is low. Some minor complications include:

Injury to the uterine lining or cervix. Infection. Bacteria can enter the uterus during the procedure and cause an infection. This is more likely if an untreated disease, such as a sexually transmitted disease (STD), is present before the procedure. Symptoms of fever, pain, and abdominal tenderness will usually start within 2 to 3 days of the procedure. Antibiotics given during or after the procedure reduce the risk of infection.

Rare complications include:

A hole in the wall of the uterus (uterine perforation, rare), which most commonly happens during cervical dilation. Bleeding is usually minimal, and no repair is needed. If bleeding is a concern, a laparoscopy (a procedure that uses a lighted viewing instrument) can be used to see whether it has stopped. Tissue remaining in the uterus (retained products of conception), usually causing recurring cramping abdominal pain and bleeding within a week of the procedure. Sometimes prolonged bleeding does not develop until several weeks later. Blood clots. If the uterus doesn't contract to pass all of the tissue, the cervical opening can become blocked, preventing blood from leaving the uterus. The uterus becomes enlarged and tender, often causing abdominal pain, cramping, and nausea.

A repeat vacuum aspiration and medicine to stop bleeding are used to treat retained products of conception or blood clots.Undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy after manual or machine vacuum aspiration

It is possible to have an undiagnosed ectopic (tubal) pregnancy that isn't discovered until after an abortion procedure. Although the pregnancy test before the procedure is positive, the pregnancy is not in the uterus. So the abortion method does not end the pregnancy. Symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy that occur after an abortion procedure can include:

It's one in which damage is done to the body and results in scar tissue and potential infertility.

It results in mental strain sometimes PTSD and long lasting guilt.

It results in spirtual harm to the Soul.

Don't kid yourself. The abortionist is charging $500. There's very little margin for error and minimal medical protection. That's why it's cheap. The time you're cared for is minimal, and so many women don't notice that they're having medical issues. Later they're having trouble coping.

This is not a judgement issue. It's a compassionate issue of caring for the patient and protecting them as ethically as possible.

Because of the horrific way it's done, the callous way the women are treated, the lack of follow up, the long term dangers for infertility, we need to look at abortion and make it safer. It needs to be compassionate.

I would rather no abortions would happen because every child was healthy and came into the world wanted. Until that happens, we need to be considerate and ethical are protect women by giving them the best care possible.
